Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people? - Lemmy.world

I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason. In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all. Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

This is some sort of childish tech-classist B.S. Like you wouldn’t talk to a friend because of the shoes they wore or the car they drove. Who cares about people like that?
It's not a tech-classist thing, it's a human thing. At our core, we are tribal. We take sides. Android vs. iPhone. Windows vs. Mac. Linux vs. everyone. Sports team A vs. Sports team B. Republican vs. Democrat. Musk vs. Zuck. Cats vs. Dogs. Everything. We take sides on everything.

Musk vs. Zuck

Do I have to pick one.

No. You can watch both their executions for crimes against humanity split-screen.
